  • The absolute best show on TV

    The only reason it’s 4 stars is because the person responsible for editing, and posting the podcast takes longer than any other show, which is weird.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thunder win Game 1 vs. Lakers, Joel Embiid out Game 2, Tim Ream joins, King of the Hill
Q: What did Embiid's absence mean for the Sixers in the upcoming game?
It elevated the Knicks' perceived advantage and forced the Sixers to rely more heavily on Maxey and others, with the Knicks favored to win though Philly could still surprise depending on how others step up.
Lakers take Game 2 vs. Rockets, Wemby in concussion protocol, Isaiah Thomas joins, Nick’s Tiers
Q: What did you think about LeBron's performance and how sustainable is it?
LeBron's performance was exceptional, orchestrating the offense and filling gaps as needed; the bigger question is whether the supporting cast can maintain the level of shooting and decision-making as games come fast and injuries accumulate.
Nick’s Official Mock Draft, Mendoza goes 1st-overall, Who will the Chiefs pick at 9th?
Q: What should the Chiefs do to help Mahomes at pick nine?
The panel emphasizes adding protection and weapons, weighing offensive line upgrades at nine versus trading for a premium weapon, with many arguing for a tackle or guard to protect Mahomes and sustain his high-level play.
Giannis not traded at deadline, Justin Jefferson joins, FTF hits 1 Billion Views, BUD List
Q: What is the coach's edge going into the Super Bowl for New England?
The panel emphasizes in-game decision-making, preparation, and the depth of coaching experience as key advantages for New England.
Ravens ’S.B.o.B’, Geno Smith traded to Jets, Ken Rosenthal joins, Top 10 Free Agency Edition
Q: What makes Geno Smith a good fit for the Jets now that he's returning?
The group argues Geno brings stability, maturity, and a proven track record of starting ability, along with an improved supporting cast and a strong offensive coordinator, making him a sensible bridge quarterback who can stabilize the offense.
